National forest 29mi from Ontonagon · 367 sites
Everyday is the best day ever at Ottowa National Forest, a great place for seasoned adventurers and families alike. The Sturgeon River Gorge Wilderness will please advance kayakers and canoers, while those with little ones can head to Lake Ottawa Recreation area for forested trails, picnicking spots and a swimming beach. Spy everything from wildflowers to black bears on the trails, and have that camera ready incase you see somethin' good. And in the cooler months? Leaf peeping and snowshoeing will make you glad you came to Ottawa when the crowds die down post summer. There’s something special about this place, experience Ottawa firsthand and reconnect with the great outdoors.

This is a nice little campsite on Lake Superior with plenty of beach to walk in both directions. We really enjoyed our late season camping trip and lucked out on the fantastic weather. Host was great and accommodating. We would love to stay again.

Great spot on a Great Lake! Hard to find privacy like this in the Porkies. We appreciated the outhouse, two picnic tables, and giant fire ring. Even got lucky to see Northern Lights. Will be back.

Great place, had it to my self most of the week. Good location for exploring the Keweenaw. Nice views. Sites 1-3 are on a pound. Each site has an increasing view of the pound as you go from 1 to 3.
2 and 3 are walk in sites, I was in 1.
Evan is a great host.

We loved camping on Evan's land! His land is private and tucked back by a lake. We were greeted by a wild turkey when we arrived at our campsite which was really cool. Campsites were set up really nice with a fire ring and picnic table. He also has an out house and running water from a well for guests. Tent sites have plenty of room but parking might be an issue depending on site. We really enjoyed our stay!

Site #4 was amazing. Away from everything, quiet, clean and beautiful. Evan was an excellent host super helpful and hospitable. We were thankful to find such an excellent property and host to stay with. We heard wolves, coyotes, and owls. The night sky was amazing. We'll definitely return. We had an F250 and a 11ft trailer and had no issues whatsoever navigating the campsite.

Great location for exploring the Keweenaw Peninsula! Marshall’s property was private, with no road noise at night and only occasional day time traffic. It was easily accessed, level and had a gravel drive through it for entry/exit in two locations on Boundary Rd (could pull through without backing). As noted, plan to be self sufficient with energy and toileting. If you’re big on campfires you might prefer a larger fire ring, but we only use a compact Solo stove for ambiance so that was a non-issue for us. All in all, it fit our needs perfectly.

Excellent host. Nice spot. Young trees and shrubs at the campsite. If you need to hang a hammock or tarp it's not possible. Otherwise it's a great place to camp. I definitely recommend it.

This is a beautiful piece of property and our site was perfect in every way! We stayed at site 4 with our Off Grid Trailer for 4 nights. The site was spacious , very secluded and private and even though we had a a fair amount of rain one night it drained extremely well. Loved the two and cows in the pasture next to our site and to our surprise there was even some apple trees on our site that were in season that we were allowed to indulge in! Thanks Evan! The outhouse that is available for guests to use was very clean. The hosts were polite, courteous and respected our privacy during our stay. Thanks Evan for being a great host and we will definitely book this location again if we are ever back in Michigan!

We had a great time at this property! Right on the beach with a couple different areas to set up camp, near the beach or in the wooded area. They had 2 picnic tables which helped out a lot with cooking and eating meals. The property is fairly close to neighbors and the road, but with the trees and greenery it felt pretty private. No cell service in the area whatsoever, but it gave us the chance to disconnect.
